Dunlap and Wells Ride to Victory in Verge NECCS #2
Typical New England Fall weather greeted the 443 riders and numerous other
spectators who arrived at the Clif Bar/ECV Cyclo-Cross in Gloucester to take
part in the 2nd round of the Verge New England Cyclo-Cross Series. Lining
up for the men�s and women�s elite races were the same, remarkable fields as
the day before in the Central Mass. Cyclo-Cross, giving riders the
opportunity to make up for missed chances and poor luck, as they raced for
the podium in the UCI Cat. 2 race.
Dunlap Dominates
If the race from the day before had left any doubt as to who the strongest
rider in the elite women�s field was, today�s race put them to rest. In a
field featuring no less than five current or former national champions,
Alison Dunlap put on a true tour de force. The race off the start line was
fierce, as the riders vied for the lead into the first corner. Gina Hall
(Clif Bar) was the first rider to attack when she went off on her own midway
through the first lap. Meanwhile, her teammate Carmen D�Aluisio adopted a
defensive strategy, keeping an eye on Alison Dunlap (Luna Bar) and Anne
Knapp (Kona), while Mary McConneloug (Seven Cycles) appeared to have
recovered from her poor ride the day before and was right up with the
leaders. Near the end of the second lap, Dunlap unleashed a ferocious
attack that the others were unable to respond to. She quickly bridged up to
Hall, and just as quickly rode by her. Before long, D�Aluisio and
McConneloug had bridged up to Hall, dropping Knapp in the process. As Dunlap
soloed to her second consecutive win on the weekend, Hall had fallen off the
pace of the three chasers, leaving the race for second place down to a
sprint, which was won by D�Aluisio. McConneloug claimed a stellar third
place on the podium, followed by Hall for fourth and a fast-closing Knapp
for fifth. Her podium finished meant that McConneloug retained the leader�s
jersey in the Verge NECCS.
Same Pair, Different Result
On a day which featured the deepest and most talented field of men�s elite
cyclo-cross racers assembled this season, any number of riders were in with
a chance to claim victory. The tension was thick at the start line, and the
race for the first corner was furious. As the field hit the first run-up,
Saturday�s winner Ryan Trebon (CCA) was leading the field, with the rest of
the favorites hot on his heels. By the end of the first lap, a select
leading group of five riders had broken off of the front, including Todd
Wells (Mongoose/Hyundai), Trebon, Jackson Stewart and Andy Jacques-Maynes
(Clif Bar), and Mark McCormack (Saturn). Behind them Marc Gullickson
(Redline) was riding hard, trying to make the connection. It didn�t take
long for Trebon and Wells to ride off the front of the lead group, and the
race settled into the same rhythm as the day before, as each took turns at
the front, waiting for a mistake from the other. Behind them, McCormack had
his hands full racing against the two Clif Bar teammates, as Stewart and
Jacques-Maynes both took turns trying to bridge up to the two leaders. Up
front, as the two leaders crossed the start/finish line for the bell lap,
Trebon laid down a hard attack, instantly gapping Wells. But, only moments
later, as Trebon flew through the course�s tough corkscrew turns, he rolled
his front tire. Wells was left alone to ride to the win, as Trebon was
passed by both chase groups to eventually finish in ninth after having run
nearly half a lap. The sprint for second was a photo finish, won by Stewart
over McCormack. Jacques-Mayne claimed fourth, and Gullickson rode home for
fifth. Peter Wedge (Kona) led home the second chase group, in front of
Travis Brown (Trek) and Dale Knapp (Kona). With his fifth place, Gullickson
narrowly held onto the leader�s jersey in the Verge NECCS.
In the junior�s race, the trio of Tucker Thomas (Rad Racing), Jamey Driscoll
(GMBC/Invensys), and Konrad Lebas (Richard Sachs) were leading the field,
when Driscoll suffered a mechanical for the second straight day, but
recovered in time to re-catch the leaders. He went on to win the race by a
clear margin, while Lebas finished second and Thomas third.
Other winners on the day included John Verheul (Cycle-Smart) in the masters
35+ race, Scott Wade (Gearworks/Spin Arts) in the 45+, and Cory Burns
(winner the day before as well) in the Amateur men�s race.
